Thomas Sully traveled to Monticello to paint the retired Jefferson in 1821. This portrait appears to have been copied after the portrait now in the collection of the American Philosophical Society, considered "the final portrait of Thomas Jefferson painted directly from life." See American Philosophical Society webpage, "A Final Image: The Thomas Sully Portrait of Thomas Jefferson," and Biddle, Edward and Fielding, Mantle, The Life & Works of Thomas Sully (1783-1872), Charleston (Garnier & Company: 1969), pg. 191, no. 914.
Provenance
Property of a New Jersey collection.
